The trio, Boy II Men, holds the distinction of being the best-selling R&B group of all time, with an astounding 64 million albums sold and the group’s 4 Grammy Awards are just the tip of the iceberg: throughout their 30-year career, the trio has penned some of the most celebrated classics to create timeless hits that appeal to fans across all generations. Earthquake has mastered his craft as a comedian with almost 30 years of selling out rooms to cultivating a loyal fanbase with shows like BET’s Comic View to HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and continues to revel in the success of his critically acclaimed comedy special, Chapelle’s Home Team – Earthquake: Legendary for Netflix. Unparalleled mastery of a turntable paired with infectious energy, DJ Jazzy Jeff, is a music producer, and entrepreneur with a thriving career that spans beyond his multi-platinum, Grammy-winning collaborations to his acclaimed production company, A Touch of Jazz.
